A Few of My Favorite Websites That You (Probably) Never Heard Of

favorite websitesI love to read posts about other blogger’s favorite places to shop online (or locally, if they live near me, but that hardly ever happens!) And believe it or not, there are no affiliate links in this post. These are just places that I really love to shop with that I thought I’d share with you just in case you haven’t heard of them and are looking for awesome places to find new things.

Black Phoenix Alchemy Lab – A twitter friend told me about Black Phoenix Alchemy Lab several years ago. If you’ve never heard of it, they have a huge selection of very unique perfume oils inspired by places like their Wanderlust collection (for real and imaginary places) or Sin and Salvation “perfumes for the vile and virtuous.” (I’m a huge fan of Sin in particular, which is a blend of amber, sandalwood, black patchouli and cinnamon). They even have fandom inspired fragrances like their 221 Baker Street collection or Mad Tea Party collection. And the coolest thing is that you can order samples in glss vials (called Imp’s Ears) for $4 each so you can try them out before buying a full size of any particular blend.

Bravissimo/Pepperberry – If you’re on the bustier side and have a hard time finding bras, or even clothes that fit right, this could be a life saver for you. Bravissimo is based in the UK but their site has a button to convert all prices to USD which makes it much easier to shop. They also have super bra-fitting advice. I learned my real bra size from following their guidelines (and a lot of trial and error since I was doing this all online but that’s another story for another day.) They even have pajama tops with built in support. Their clothing line, Pepperberry is made for women with bigger boobs and they have their own unique sizing, so be sure to follow their guidelines if you order because they are not similar to US sizes at all. A UK size 8 is more like a US 4.

Ewa Michalak – This company is in Poland, but they have the most amazing bras for ALL sizes, big or small and everywhere in between. Seriously the best bras I’ve ever found and they have a video with fitting instructions to help you determine your size too. Their bras are also very affordable, though you will have to do the price conversion yourself. The only downside to ordering from them is that they make the bras to order so it can take a long time for them to arrive. In my opinion, it’s totally worth the wait though.
